PRB: Conflict with RamDoubler and Foxtools on a Mac PPC

 Last reviewed: May 24, 1996
Article ID: Q127901
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

Under the following conditions, trying to quit FoxPro by pressing CTRL+Q or by typing QUIT in the Command window will cause a complete screen lockup or a black screen filled with random ASCII characters. In both cases, you must turn off and then restart your computer to restore the system.

Conditions:

  • FoxPro is running on a Power PC.
  • Ramdoubler version 1.51 from Connectix is enabled.
  • Foxtools.mlb is loaded and called.
  • Pressing CTRL+Q or typing QUIT in the Command window are used to exit FoxPro.

WORKAROUND

At this time the only workaround is to not use Ramdoubler in conjunction with Foxtools.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. On your Power PC, run Ramdoubler version 1.51 from Connectix.

  2. Run an application in FoxPro that uses Foxtools - such as the Setup Wizard.

  3. When the application finishes, press CTRL+Q to exit from FoxPro.
